Thanks to all that replied.
I',ve been able to machine it, by using Rick advices and would like to say thanks to him for this wonderful idea.
I've just tried to turn some steel I got around, that wasn't been able to get a nice finish until now, and magically I got the mirror finish I was searching for.
I would advice this mod as first mod for new ( and old ) minilathe.
Thanks again to Rick and to all .
